    Bandit should be waking up right about now.

    I can pick them both up in a couple hours.

    Shame on the Prayer Pups ... plum furgot about today's Sir Juries!
    Sure Hope God remembered an showed up fur the Assist.

    Glad to her the preliminary report is a Good One!

    We'll send Prayers for two FAST Recoveries and NO complications!

    They are home

    Bandit's eye looks nasty, but the surgery went well. He's already being stubborn about staying in the house. Bandit is more than welcome to be a house dog, but he prefers to be in the yard. He got brushed and his nails trimmed too. Bandit hates being groomed!

    Paxil is so stoned she can't see straight. She's having fun watching things only she can see! She's curled up on her bed by the woodstove. I talked to Rick some more about the scar tissue and he says there's nothing we can do about it. It makes her more prone to getting things stuck in her throat though so I will have to keep a closer eye on what she gnaws on. She got her nasty, black nails cut very short too! I hate trimming her nails!

    Glad to hear things went well for both of them. Curses on those foxtails!
    Will say a few extra prayers tonight for their full recoveries.

    Sounds like a pretty "successful day" at the White Coat's Sir Jury & Beauty Shoppe.

    I s'pose the two involved FurKids might put a different *slant* on it,
    but from a Mom's Point of View ... a Good Day!

    Do "the Kids" have *leave it ALONE* devices to wear --- ByteNot Collars,
    E-Collars, Snow-suits, rain barrels, or hog-tied paws?
    Here's hoping the *Zippurz* are left alone till they're *scheduled* for removal!

    Everyone - Rest Well Tonight!

    They are both in e-collars. The bite-not collar doesn't work for eye injuries. I tried it on Paxil, but she apparently has a short little neck and it didn't fit her right. Bandit only has two stitches so hopefully he won't need to wear the collar for long. Paxil gets hers off when I can watch her. She's pretty pathetic with it on. Quite a little drama queen!

    Does she whack you with it? Sasha does that, when she has it on she looks completely miserable and likes to walk up behind me and whack me on the back of the legs with hers. Like HEY LADY, TAKE THIS OFF, NOW!!

    I fondly remember Boots, da Kat - and his ability (and lack thereof) to navigate
    with his lil E-collar - worn for many days when he had a catheter or was recovering
    from his PU operation. He did quite well with walking - other than forgetting to pick his head UP -
    he'd *stub* the lower edge on the carpet and wind up tipping the cone down flat on the floor
    and not being able to move without first backing up. And rounding a corner -
    he NEVER left enough room for the darn collar!
    I often wondered how he managed to NOT break his neck.

    The poor Dogs both learned to **MOVE** if Cone-Head approached -
    when he *rammed* with his cone it HURT!

    Hope the "Kids" heal quickly and the need for the collars is short-lived.

    I'm happy to hear the pups are home and recovering well. How long till you know if you got all of Paxil's cancer?

    There's no way to tell. Mast Cells are part of a normal immune system. They just go crazy in some dogs and form tumors. We'll just keep checking her for a reoccurance, more lumps and bumps.
